1. I Origins (2014)
2. Return of the Jedi (1983)
3. The Boondock Saints (1999)
4. The Matrix (1999)
5. Interstellar (2014)

In no particular order.

Blade Runner // Apocalypse Now // Goodbye, Dragon Inn // Guardians of the Galaxy 2 // Any Bourne film

I'll throw my hat in the ring and give my list in no particular order:

Seven Samurai

Borat

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

War of the Worlds (2005)

The Godfather

1. Interstellar 2-5. Napoleon dynamite, Wayne's World, arrival, Scott pilgrim vs the world

I don't have something like that, but every time this kind of question is asked, City of God (2002) always comes to mind.

• Jurassic Park
• Lord Of The Rings (prefer Two Towers)
• Back to The Future (1 but 3 rocks too)
• Blade Runner 2049
• Gladiator

1. Back to the Future
2. Wall-E
3. Into The Spider-verse
4. Interstellar
5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Big Lebowski for 1-5

I'll do "so far" instead of "all time" because all time has not yet elapsed, but I'll shut up and list the current roster:

• Werckmeister Harmonies
• Fellowship of the Ring
• The Dreamers
• The Wind Rises
• L'eclisse

Honorable mentions go to Casino Royale, Ashes and Diamonds, The Empire Strikes Back, Paprika, and Vanilla Sky.

• Dazed and Confused
• Jurassic Park
• Fellowship of the Ring
• The Royal Tenenbaums
• The Matrix

• Young Frankenstein

• The Princess Bride

• Blazing Saddles

• The Matrix

• The Shawshank Redemption

It's a toss-up on a couple of those. The Blues Brothers could easily make the list, as could Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, Alien, Interstellar, and I'm sure there are many others. I will abandon what I'm doing to watch any one of these, if they come on, probably 90% of the time.

1. The Godfather.
2. Blade Runner.
3. Scarface.
4. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
5. The fight club.

No particular order, these are some of my favorites.

Alien and Aliens could be there too.

And a bunch of animates movies like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, A silent voice, Grave for the Fireflies, The Tale of Princes Kaguya, Princess Mononoke, Howls moving Castle.

Also Toy Story 2, Shrek 2, The Prince of Egypt, Fantasia, Klaus, Into the Spiderverse.

The Dark Knight

The Shining

LOTR Trilogy (ROTK if I have to pick one)

~~The Nice Guys~~ swapping for In Bruges

Gladiator

1. Dead Man: A film by Jim Jarmusch starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer and an all-star cast. Beautiful acid western about friendship in harsh circumstances. Wonderful original soundtrack by Neil Young.

2. The Fall: A film by Tarsem. This films story isn't necessarily amazing, but this is a love letter to classic cinema. It has a plot about classic cinema, and it uses all classic techniques to achieve the effects. Tarsem famously went out of their way to ensure there wasn't any CGI in this film. It's one of the most vividly colorful and visually stunning films I have ever seen.

3. Dreams: A film by Akira Kurosawa. A montage of short films inspired by dreams experienced by filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. In partnership with Lucasfilm. Almost as visually stunning as The Fall but much more cohesive stories for being inspired by dreams. Come for "The Peach Orchard," and stay for "Village of the Watermills."

4. Brazil: A film by Terry Gilliam starring Jonathan Pryce, Robert DeNiro, Kim Greist and Michael Palin. A treatise on dreams in a totalitarian society. The only cut worth watching is the Directors Cut. The film was famously butchered by the studios to give it a "happy ending" because the original was considered too bleak.

5. Sneakers: A film by Phil Alden Robinson starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, and Ben Kingsley. One of the only films that ever presented a semi-realistic portrayal of hacking. Good plot, good pacing, and arguably prescient considerations.

• Clue
• Death to Smoochy
• Wizard of Oz
• Mary Poppins

• Kids in the Hall - Brain Candy

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
But I guess my firsty firstingly forever first is Blade Runner 2049

I actually sat down a coworker years ago and did this. It was surprisingly easy once I realized something - I'll sit down and watch a lot of movies on TV, but there are a few I refuse to. Too many commercials and edits just make me furious... those are my favorites. Getting down to 10 was hard enough, so top 5 are in no order. Some changed how I thought about things, some just entertained me for years:

The Matrix

Interstellar

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Fight Club

Schindler's List

And because it was so hard, here are a few more that just as easily could be top 5:

Silence of the Lambs, Inception, V for Vendetta, OG Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Kung Pow, Blair Witch Project

Edit: Forgot one - Arrival. Probably in top 5, no idea which to demote. Fight Club maybe

In no particular order:

• Clue
• Muppet Treasure Island
• Lord of the Rings
• The Hunt for Red October
• Oscar

All but one have Tim Curry, hmm... I never noticed that before.

For now, anyway;

• Sorcerer; confusingly about 4 men driving volatile dynamite through the jungle, no wizards present

• Manhunter; I literally stand up out of my chair during the tiger scene every time

• Body Double; Brian de Palma is a weird perv and it's great

• Threads; it's the scariest movie ever made

• Annihilation; more upsetting bear than The Edge, only slightly less upsetting lighthouse than The Lighthouse

My cat is sitting on my lap so you get both of ours combined together

• The Fifth Element
• The Matrix
• Dark City
• The Big Lebowski
• Burn After Reading
• Fargo
• Lost In Translation
• Snatch
• Grosse Pointe Blank
• Thor: Ragnarok

In no particular order

1. Starship Troopers
2. Peter Jackson's Trilogy is one movie. Fight me.
3. Speed Racer

I guess I just have three.

Monty Python and the holy grail

DnD movie

And all three LOTR movies. Extended of course.

Super hard to limit to just 5 but here's the first that came to mind: Star Wars: A New Hope, The Matrix, Delicatessen, The Science of Sleep, The Fifth Element.

Any of the following could easily go somewhere on the above list :) Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy, Groundhog Day, Dark City, Inception & Intersteller (if only it didn't have the whole love is a force that transcends dimensions and can be used to communicate across time and space stuff?!)

No way I can do all time, because my tastes change. However, I guess right now it's:

• My neighbour Totoro
• Grave of the Fireflies, even though I can't watch it
• into the spider verse
• knives out
• everything everywhere all at once

The top two there never really shift but the other three do all the time.

Interstellar

Inception

About Time

Arrival

The Green Mile

In no particular order: The Mission, Children of Men, Passport to Pimlico, Ben Hur, My Name is Nobody

1. There Will Be Blood
2. The Fabelmans
3. Gangs of New York
4. Memento
5. The Dark Knight

This is an incredibly difficult question for me, so I have to list my runners up:

• The Prestige
• Shawshank Redemption
• Pulp Fiction
• Spirited Away
• 2001: A Space Oddysey
• Dallas Buyers Club

I'm probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it's been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.

In no particular order: -Contact -The Matrix -Inglourious Basterds -Spirited Away -Moonrise Kingdom

The Godfather The Empire Strikes Back Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Die Hard, First Blood, True Lies, Lethal Weapon and Point Break.

Harold and Maude Silence of the Lambs Thor: Ragnarok Singing in the Rain Unforgiven

Silly to hold us to five but those were the first to come to mind.

Dune (hopefully)

Until then, it might be something like:

• Last of the Mohicans
• Mad Max Fury Road
• Children of Men
• The Matrix
• Dr Strangelove (&c)

1. LOTR: For staying close to the book while still being amazing.
2. The Matrix: Still can't forget walking out of the theater, everyone so silent with their minds collectively blown.
3. Cinema Paradiso: For the way it shows the love for cinema.
4. Life is Beautiful: For showing that only we control how we live our lives.
5. Children of Heaven: For its depiction of love in its purest forms.
